Is 'the Universe' a euphemism for God? | |

I will tell you the name of those things you feel, it's called wishful thinking. It's a common occurrence when someone wishes to back up some claim for which they possess no evidence. Remember when we were kids that we used to make shit up to tell to our friends and impress them? Well guess what, that doesn't stop when we're adults. More than some vague feelings and wishful thinking, it is recorded in the Bible, the belief in which is not programming because you are free to believe it or not. Faith is like a train you can get on, or not, but if you don't, you cannot see and experience all that those on the train do. When I look around at society, seems to me the conditioning to look after no1 and chase pleasure as the meaning of life is far more insidious. |

Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men?

How is there efficient/beautiful design/information content, rather than "get the job done" morphology or chaos. It's quite amazing, being born into this cool "matrix" yet not having access to its understanding...really even in the least. I suppose just being receptive to lessons that we can experience now, to hopefully be taken into a more aware existence that we hopefully die into, is all we can hope for. Really, if I could even get a little insight into how the Intelligent, Creative and Loving "All There Is" overcame the totally seemingly impossible, and things and beings consequently will continue to achieve existence, despite whatever happens to me, I would be happy :) |

K.Kool (OP) User ID: 22301472 Australia 11/25/2012 08:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I came across this yesterday, that explains this 'knowing' that so many have an issue with: "religious faith is not like scientific knowledge. We are, of course, familiar with non-scientific ways of knowing. If we love someone we would never dream of trying to prove it scientifically. In fact, when we love someone we surrender the need to be all-knowing and to control. We live with the mystery of the other person. Religious faith has more in common with knowing someone we love than with scientific knowledge. There can be a temptation to treat religious faith like scientific knowledge, but this will only lead to a dead end. In fact, it becomes the ultimate betrayal of faith because we no longer trust God, but think we can do it all on our own." [Fr Gerard Kelly] |
